Would they really do Gypsy? Todd Haimes has said that Roundabout would never produce shows like Fiddler on the Roof, Guys & Dolls, Gypsy, Hello Dolly!, nor My Fair Lady because they really deserve commercial productions.

Though I could understand that the Jonathan Kent production would be risky to produce commercially.

The Kent Sweeney Todd deserves a trasfer more, honestly. Supposedly something major (star/musical) fell through so they're using this to merely fill a slot and get extra butts in seats.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that it is indeed in talks with Roundabout. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/broadway-beckons-imelda-staunton-gypsy-881443

No, not Gypsy. It's been revived here in 1974, 1989, 2003 and 2008.

My first  thought was "they're going do another money-losing production of Gypsy because another aging actress needs a Tony nomination before she opens her mouth, and has a 50% chance of winning the award."

But I see that they're transferring the London production, so it's Imelda Staunton who gets the Tony.

I hate the loud, obnoxious character of Rose. Except then Ethel Merman sings "Everything's Coming Up Roses".

Bumping this. The Roundabout website still says two more Broadway shows to be announced. When do you think is the latest we can expect them to be announced?

I thought Kingdom Come was added, taking up one of the two spots.

Is Holliday inn still coming? Isn't that supposed to into studio 54? Or am I imagining things?

Holiday Inn is already on the list.

What's Kingdom Come?

Good thing I didn't become a detective.

Thanks Neon for clearing that up.
